Shopping

XXX stores, coffee shops and dirty bars, this store is one of my favourite places to frequent between lectures. Don’t be put off by the lacklustre top floor; although it is fitted with a lot of stock, it’s not the best thing about this place. You must take the path downstairs, where the real gems are hidden. A retro section, traditional Indian clothes, and old costumes remind us of the real reason we go op-shopping: to find something wildly unique for under $10. 8231 3687 MON-SAT: 10AM-5PM
